The Elder's Crown

Details

She has been here longer than the temples that were built in her honor. They painted the lotus between her eyes when the jungle still remembered its own name. Pilgrims who understood instinctively that some beings are not worshipped so much as witnessed. She has outlasted every dynasty that claimed her as symbol. She does not belong to any of them. She belongs to the slow turning of seasons, to the particular quality of light just before a monsoon, to the deep memory that lives in the earth beneath her feet. When you look at her long enough she looks back. 🎨 Medium: Watercolor on watercolor paper 📐 Size: 2.5" x 3.5" ✍️ Original: One of a kind, hand painted, signed 📦 Ships: Protected in a toploader sleeve inside rigid 4x6 card and envelope
